Summary

Description
English: Steel fragment of a high-explosive shell, dating from the 1990s Gulf War. Found in Kuwait.

Technically, this is a fragment of a large artillery shell. However, many people would refer to it as shrapnel. Note the highly characteristic jagged edges caused by detonation of the explosive filling.
